    Remeber that their lead is really an asshole:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Anselmo#2016_Dimebash_incident

    Anselmo has given some controversial statements about race, skin color and related cultures throughout his life. At a Pantera concert in Montreal in 1995, he gave a speech expressing that “Pantera are not a racist band” and that he and his bandmates had friends “of all colors and all kinds”, but that he had a problem with rap artists “pissing all over white culture”. In another concert, he expressed his disgust with affirmative action, saying “fuck all that Black Power bullshit”.[76]

    Winda Benedetti of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer accused Anselmo of mouthing the words “white power” and making Nazi salutes at Superjoint Ritual’s performance at Ozzfest on July 27, 2004.[77][78] Speaking with Kerrang!, Benedetti alleged that she was seated in the second row, and saw Anselmo lean down and mouth the words towards a crowd of skinheads at the front.[78] Kerrang! was unable to reach Anselmo for comment.[78]

    On January 22, 2016, an intoxicated Anselmo ended the “Dimebash” Dimebag Darrell tribute show by giving a Nazi salute and screaming the words “white power” to the crowd.[79][80][81] The incident was captured by an audience member’s cell phone camera and the video was posted on YouTube. Anselmo later claimed that it was an in-jest reference to drinking white wine
